Moin,

When running quake2 with 3dfx, my arrow keys and mouse don't work:

- In normal gameplay, arrow key's do nothing.
- I can't move the pointer in the video menu, while I can in the
  options menu (strange enough). 
- When setting arrow keys to something in "customize controls", the
  uparrow key is show as "shift" (more strange).
- My mouse doesn't do anything, neither in game nor in controller
  setup. It works in X, I'm sure I have the right /dev/mouse link.

Anyone have seen this? Any idea what to test?

I know your first question is whether *any* svga application
works. Unfortunatly, my video card isn't compatible with svgalib (just
blank screen, console locks) when running without 3dfx. Can these be
related? How can I test keyboard and mouse in svgalib without display?

More about my setup:
- -current, a few weeks old
- newest linux-layer patches from Amancio's site
- svgalib-foo from Amancio's site
- vgalib.conf has nothing changed besides setting "S3"
- Mesa-2.6, freshly downloaded
- problem appears with q2-3.10 as well as q2-3.14a
- linux-lib and linux-devel as specified in Amancio's document.
- my quake2 cfg file isn't the reason, I tried removing it, the
  problem appears even with the file that is created by quake2 on
  first start.

Maschine is:
- GA-586DX, running Uniprocessor kernel, syscons, tried GENERIC kernel.
- "Voodomania" 3dfx card (runs only in mode 2 (512x???), 640x480
  mode is distorted (hard to describe)).
- ELSA winner 2000 AVI VGA card, S3 968 based.
- Normal PS/2 keyboard.
- Newer Logitech 3-button mouse.

I need hints where to continue testing. Thanks!

Martin
